Unicef’s Photo Of The Year: The Pre-Teenage Bride
VIA John Naughton, and Clive Davis Anorak understands that this picture is UNICEF’s Photo of the Year:
The image is startling — a 40-year-old groom sitting beside his 11-year-old future bride. Photographer Stephanie Sinclair, who took the photo last year in Afghanistan, asked the pre-teenage bride what she felt on the day of her engagement. “Nothing,” said the girl, according to Sinclair. “I do not know this man. What am I supposed to feel?” Sinclair, an American photographer, produced her winning photograph as part of a series of pictures she took about child marriages between 2005 and 2007 in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and Nepal.
